Definitions
- Freezing of cells has long been used to preserve living cells after the cells have been removed or separated from a donating organism.
- the cryopreservation and recovery of living cells remains challenging. This is at least because cells subjected to freezing and thawing conditions are exposed to harsh conditions which in turn result in a generally low survivability rate.
- Freezing is destructive to most living cells. Generally, as the extracellular medium freezes, cells attempt to maintain osmotic equilibrium across the membrane leading to intracellular water loss, which in turn increases intracellular solute concentration until intracellular freezing occurs. It is believed that both intracellular freezing and solution effects are responsible for cell injuries. Such cell injuries include, for example damage to cells plasma membrane which results from osmotic dehydration of the cells.

- the cryopreservation solution is cooled to about 4° C. prior to the addition of target cells in order to expedite the freezing process, and requires that the freezing process commence immediately after the cryo-preservation solution is added to the cells in order to minimize cell death induced by the presence of solution.
- the volume of diluted cryopreservation solution which are added to the target cells depends upon both the volumetric ratio of target cell containing solution to cryopreservation solution and the ratio of target cells to cryopreservation solution.
